She ran the backs of her fingers along the line of his jaw.
"And what if I don't want to keep my distance?" Her voice
was barely a whisper.

"Fair warning," he murmured, and pulled her close.

Caught between a greedy corporation and a desperate love of
the land, Maria Porterfield barely has time to mourn her
father's death. If her family is to survive, it'll be up to
her to take charge-but she can't do it alone. When a
mysterious drifter rides into town, the handsome cowboy
seems like an answer to her prayers. But Chet isn't
interested in settling down, no matter how tempting the offer...

Chet made his way West looking for a fresh start-the last
thing he wants is to get involved in someone else's fight.
But something about Maria awakens a powerful need to protect
the fierce beauty at all costs. He never thought he'd find
love, but as danger presses in, he may find there's more
beyond the next horizon than just another long and dusty trail.

The rules I live by are these:1. Try to be a better person2 Try to make at least one person laugh or smile a day3 Try to help at least one other person daily4 Be sure to thank God for your day, even if it didn't go as planned.

There are other little things that go into each of the items, but you get the general idea. I not only love everything about your latest Cowboy book, but also your WWII series, and it looks like I'm going to have to get crackin' (no pun intended), as far as doing some reading!! My Father served in WWII, so books written from that time period are close to my heart. Thank you for coming here today and letting us know about all of your books. I'm going to have a very busy Fall season, playing catch-up with your books, but know it's going to be enjoyable!!(Peggy Roberson 9:43am September 4, 2015)

Do unto others and you would have them do unto you. Be grateful. Life is Good. I love your books. Thank you for the chance to win. Your new series sounds like they will be winners - just like all your others.(Nancy Reynolds 10:03am September 4, 2015)

Do not be afraid to be different and do not judge others for being different and force your beliefs onto them. Be thankful you live in a country that allows you that freedom because if we were all the same the world would be a very, very boring place.(Maria Smith 11:45am September 4, 2015)

you are a new author for me!(Lorelei Frank 11:54am September 4, 2015)

A do unto others code.(Pam Howell 12:37pm September 4, 2015)

We had simple rules in the house growing up.. Other than the normal, If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.. or Silence is golden. No, are's were more like this. 1. If you want something ask, the worst you can be told is NO2. If you walk away from the table hungry it's your own damn fault.3. If you don't like the rules, there's the door don't let it hit you on the way out4. Screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me and I don't do shame on me.

These were what we were taught. Be nice, kind, helpful, and respectful and you will be treated the same way. I do not judge people by the color of their skin, I judge them by their actions. I know I am different from you and that is ok. I will treat you with kindness until you prove otherwise. My mom would say I get new meaning to the phrase.. Hell hath no furry than a woman scorned... you get on my bad side and I will not be kind. My boys are like Knights with they way they help women, open doors and such. My daughter acts like a spoiled princess and we but heads all the time. This is how I was raised and how I raised them.(Tina Ullrich 12:38pm September 4, 2015)

I know that everything happens for a reason. It may be to teach me to depend on God, to learn to get my priorities straight, or to count my blessings.(Nyala Edwards 4:10pm September 4, 2015)

I try to be polite to everyone.I try not to hurt anyone's feelings. I try to be a decent and God loving woman. Marilyn(Marilyn Collins 5:03pm September 4, 2015)

I try to treat everyone with respect, the way that I would want to be treated or to have my child be treated. Learning is a treasure not to be wasted, but some children have to be inspired. I work at it. Don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, don't commit adultery. In other words, follow the 10 commandments. They are commandments, not suggestions. Do all things in moderation. Words hurt, use them gently. Everyone has a story, some are even more compelling than our own, but they won't share, if they don't trust. (I work in an inner city elementary school. But these are my basic life rules regardless.)(Marcia Berbeza 1:26am September 7, 2015)

Everyone deserve a chance(Emily Stemp 11:30am September 7, 2015)

I told my kids that of you tell a lie, it is hard to remember what you said. You can remember the truth.Your post reminded me of my father making a deal with a handshake. I was raised in West Texas and that is how they did it then; I remember him telling me that when I was a child.(Leona Olson 12:40pm September 7, 2015)
